Nikken replies?

I am not sure if this reply was supposed to be an official reply from Nikken. But I thought it was so funny I should share it with you all. Its a comment to my first entry about the whole Nikken ordeal.

Let me quote the comment in full. With all the interesting information:

IP Address: 217.204.127.132
Name: Eckhard
Email Address: a@a.com

Hello,
I am looking thru the inernet today, and I think you are a very sad man that should surely go out and get a LIFE!

Is the anti-Nikken the only thing in your life that you can occupy your time with? I will suggest that you go and find a hobby or a girl-freind.

Eckhard.

Seems like a regular boring flame, and isn't exactly signed by someone wanting others to know who he/she is. But, the poster seems to be oblivious to the fact that he/she left her IP-address behind when he/she posted the comment.

Lets look at who owns 217.204.127.132:

inetnum:      217.204.127.128 - 217.204.127.159
netname:      NIKKEN
descr:        Nikken UK Ltd

mnt-by:       EASYNET-UK-MNT

So, the question is: Should I interpret the comment as an official response from Nikken UK LTD? ;-)


BTW: Expect another update to the whole story soon.

ROTFL -- what more can one say, really?

I just got something a lame, incoherent attempt at flaming originating from Portugal [1], so I wouldn't be too surprised if Nikken has realised they have no legal means to attack you, and instead are trying to annoy you to death.

[1] It was actually incoherent to the point where it was pure guesswork whether it was pro-Nikken or not.

None of them has bothered me, yet. I feel left out. :(

BTW, my computer is broken, and I'm using my grandma's computer. She has nothing to do with nikken. So that's why the IP address won't say my name, if you check. I've got nothing to hide, feel free to e-mail me. I take criticism better than some of my peers apparently.

I recieved a letter from Nikken - they were offering me a job. HA! I was pretty sure it was some sort of scam or work at home crap so I googled "Nikken" and came up with your site!
Very interesting!
